Civic Foundation for Innovation invites Schools, Teachers and Students to participate in the Stem Club Schools National Competition in Nigeria, in 2019.
A STEM club is an educational gathering of students and a tutor(s) that meet periodically in a learning environment to work on the different hands-on components of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and to learn in a fun way. A STEM club encourages students to explore, learn, build, and understand the integration of STEM in everyday life. It is a place where students learn using material, tools, design and create prototypes using their hands-on skills and scientific knowledge.
They understand that some schools may not have started STEM clubs, they are therefore opening their portal to enable schools enlist their teachers who will learn via their platform thereafter, successful teachers can train students and prepare them for the competition using materials on their platform.
However, they encourage schools that have STEM clubs to also enrol on their platform to prepare for the competition.
